LEMON BAR WHITE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9X13-inch baking pan (I use metal) with foil (for easier cleanup). Grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• For the white chocolate brownies, combine the butter and white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1-minute increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
• Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest and mix until evenly and well-combined. Stir in the flour, salt and baking powder until smooth.
• Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes until the brownies are just slightly set but still soft in the center.
• For the lemon bar layer, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour until smooth and well-combined.
• Pour the lemon mixture over the top of the warm white chocolate brownies. Return to the oven and bake until the lemon layer is set, about 18-20 minutes. It's ok if there are bubbles on the surface of the lemon layer. They won't look very pretty coming out of the oven but they'll get pretty in just a sec.
• Let the bars cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, dust the top of the bars with powdered sugar. Cut into squares and serve immediately (the powdered sugar melts into the bars the longer they sit, so dust only when ready to serve).

3 INGREDIENT LEMON BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• Add eggs to a stand mixer with wire whisk attachment. Beat at highest speed for 8 minutes or until eggs turn thick and pale yellow. When you lift the beater, the mixture that drips off should be able to stay on top of your egg batter for several seconds before sinking back in. See photo in post for reference. You can do this with a hand mixer but it may take more time. See notes for more details.
• While your eggs are beating, melt your chocolate. You can do this over the stove using the double boiler method or do this in the microwave. If you are using a microwave, add chocolate to a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Then stir with spatula. Heat again for 30 seconds. Stir again until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If chocolate is not completely smooth and melted, you can heat for another 20-30 seconds and stir again. You do need to be careful to not heat the full time all at once because you can overcook or burn your chocolate.
• Once eggs are finished, fold them into the chocolate in 3 batches. First add in 1/3 of the egg mixture. Use your spatula to gently fold in the egg mixture. Make sure to scoop the chocolate from the bottom of the bowl so that all the chocolate gets incorporated. It's okay if your chocolate starts to get a little chunky. Fold until no egg streaks remain. Repeat with second third of egg mixture and then final third of egg mixture. It's okay if you have some small chunks of chocolate in your batter. Finally, gently stir in the lemon juice and zest until just incorporated.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until surface is dark golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let brownies cool completely to set. Wait until brownies are cooled and set before slicing into squares with a sharp knife. The bottom of the brownies may be very sticky so you may need to use a thin spatula to release the brownies from the parchment paper.
